Somerset Farms, a neighborhood in Nashville-Davidson metropolitan government, Tennessee, exhibits a Low Diversity demographic profile with a White Majority. As of 2022, the neighborhood has a population of 970 and a median income of $85,738. Somerset Farms is known for its suburban character and proximity to Percy Priest Lake.
Over the past decade, Somerset Farms has maintained its status as a Low Diversity neighborhood with a White Majority. The percentage of white residents has remained above 80% throughout the period, with minor fluctuations. The black population has shown slight variability, ranging from 1% to 9%. Asian residents appeared in the data in 2021 at 3%, decreasing to 2% in 2022. Other racial groups have maintained minimal or no representation throughout the decade.
The median income in Somerset Farms has fluctuated over the years but generally remained high. It peaked in 2015 at $91,389 before declining to $74,378 in 2019. There was a rebound to $86,548 in 2020, followed by a slight decrease to $85,738 in 2022. These income fluctuations do not seem to directly correlate with the minor demographic shifts observed.
Population trends show growth from 2010 to 2016, peaking at 1,491 residents, followed by a decline to 886 in 2020, and a slight recovery to 970 in 2022. These population changes have not significantly impacted the racial composition or economic status of the neighborhood.
Somerset Farms' demographic stability contrasts with broader trends in many American suburbs, which have been experiencing increasing diversity over the past decade. The neighborhood's persistent Low Diversity and White Majority status suggests it may be somewhat insulated from larger demographic shifts occurring in the Nashville metropolitan area and across the nation.
The median income in Somerset Farms remains well above the national median, indicating that it continues to be an affluent enclave within the broader Nashville area. This economic strength may contribute to the neighborhood's demographic stability, as high property values can sometimes act as a barrier to more diverse in-migration.
In conclusion, Somerset Farms has largely maintained its character as a predominantly white, affluent suburban neighborhood. The subtle increases in diversity may indicate the beginning of a very gradual shift towards a more diverse community in the future, albeit at a much slower pace than many comparable suburban areas across the United States.
